Has anyone grown Pimento OR Lipstick Pepper before?

I have a pepper plant I had labeled Mini Pepper Orange, but it clearly isn't. The little ones to the left in middle picture are Mini Paprika RED.

When ripe it's a medium sized red sweet pepper with juicy flavorful thick walls. Oddly, the fruits grow with blossom end up, though some fall over sideways eventually.

The first one shown in the bottom photo had a blunt blossom end. So I thought maybe it was King of the North, but I'm pretty sure that one grows pointing down.

Looking back at my seedling maps, another one that might be the mislabeled plant is Pimento. I don't think it's Lipstick since they are thinner and more conical. What do you think?
